This might be more of advanced topic and not necessarily meant for 1st time players but I'm finding the complete opposite. Mages seem underpowered with no essential spells, anyone can lockpick with training and with the game as "easy" as it is, a strong melee party doesn't need an in-battle healer ( especially with a few well timed potions ).

Spoiler –SPOILER

Considering the high level AI targets mages first, they can become a liability. A dead mage isn't healing anyone.

Part of this is the classless system that allows you to develop your characters to develop skills outside of their "class".

Like every other RPG though, you will need someone who can unlock chests & doors, via lockpick skill or human pure mage spell.
